4 Lady Fats INTO "a Well.

On Monday night quite an accident
occurred at the Hotel Amelia, in Ame-
lin county. Mrs. Rountree, wife Of
Mr.. Henry ". Rountree, trunk-manu-
facturer, on Governor street, of this
city, while crossing the yard of the ho-
tel. fell in an old well. 1t had not been
used for some time, and was covered
with de6ris, and Mrs. Rountree walked
into it, falling a distance of about fif-
teen feet. A servant girl who was ac-
com panying her gave the alarm. and
after much work, in which Mr.. Roun-
tree strained his shoulder, she was got
ten to the surface.
1t was found that she had only sus.
tanned bruises from her fall, but suf-
fered greatly from nervous prostration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rornt've returned homo
yesterday, and wer' uuch better than
had been anticipat d. No blame can
be attached to the keeper of the hotel,
as all the guests knew the well was
there, but Mrs. Rountree did not think
about it at the time.

A FATAL SHOCK.
A Loving Mother Killed by an Ex.
citing Announcement.

Mrs. w. Il. Allen, whose illness was
noticed in these columns yesterday
morning. died at 1890 o'clock. On
Sunday she was in robust health AMI
fine spirits. That evening her son
Writ came running home and was fol-
lowed by police officers, who had war
rant charging him with shooting a child
named Percy Lockwood. 1t turned
ont that the shooting was a trivial al
fair. and may possibly have been an
accident, as young Allen contends. At
any rate no harm was done, as
the child was struck by the bull
let when its force was spent
and was not injured. But the result Of
the announcement to Mrs Allen was
shock which produced apoplexy, from
which she never rallied. She was in
state of coma from about 6 z. NJ.
until death, the immediate cause OF
which was the rupture of blood-ves-
sci Of the brain, and that was probably
produced by the excited action of the
heart consequent upon the appearance
of the officers and IA number OF people
following them.
Mrs. Allen was the wife OF Mr.. w.
T. Allen. Of the First National Bank.
and their home was on Sixth street
between Leigh and Jackson. she was
sister of Mr.. NJ. ". Warrington, OF
the Richmond and Petersburg kailro I'd
Company, and a twin sister Of Mrs.
W. i. johnson. She leaves six chill
dren-two boys and four girls. Mrs
c. c. Rady and Mrs. Arthur Seay are
her children.
The deceased lady was very amiable
end kind. hearted, and enjoyed the good
will of wide circle of friends. She
was fond wife and mother, a Christian
devoted to her duties, and was in all re-
spects a model Virginia matron. The
circumstances attending her death are
particularly painful, deepening the sor.
row which possesses her family and

The committee of arrangements have
addressed letters to Governor Lee,

sence on that occasion. The last-named,
who holds q high office in the ordei

the committee declining the IN
vitation, as the body is not re
cognized by the Grand Lodge of the

The constitution of the Knights OF

shall be composed only OF "white
males over twenty-one years OF age ol

have been made, especially by north

stricken out, but without success. The

establish lodge on one OF the Sand

the offence upon any Que as clearly as
they deemed desirable. One OF them
